Coconut Oil

DP / 30 June 2015

Hi all,

 

Coconut Oil has received a lot of attention over the last couple of years - it's one of those good fats  that just a few years ago were bad fats.

 

As you know, I'm not into fads, but coconut oil is here to stay.

 

In our household we have a number of uses for it:

  1. Stir frying - has a very high smoke point and doesn't degrade the way olive oil does.  Works best with Asian dishes for obvious reasons.
  2. Pre-exercise energy boost.  It contains something called MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) which the body can convert to energy very easily.
  3. Sweet craving killer - if I'm craving something sweet I'll sometimes have a teaspoon of this stuff with some very dark chocolate which usually does the trick.
  4. Skin moisturiser!  Many cosmetics use coconut oil as a base or major ingredient. Just don't go out in this hot sun with it on!

 

I would just like to add we use separate pots!

 

You can get it in most supermarkets now, usually next to the olive oil.

 

Enjoy!

 

Darren
